Sasuke had gotten up early. He was still angry from the events that happened last night. He brushed his teeth and took a shower. He skipped out on breakfast and headed for his car. His beat up Subaru Impreza sat in the driveway. He got in and backed out of the driveway.

He made it to the agency building and pulled into a spot. He reluctantly got out of his warm car. The streets weren't yet busy. He entered the building and the secretary greeted him. He made his usually trip up the elevator. He went straight to Jiraiya's office. The door was closed but Sasuke couldn't give a shit right now.

Jiraiya looked up at Sasuke who had just walked right in.

"Thanks for knocking,"

Sasuke wasn't amused by the sarcasm. "What's in the files, the classified files," It was more of a statement. Jiraiya didn't react the way he thought he would.

"What are you talking about?"

"Don't bullshit me," Sasuke closed the door with a kick of his foot.

"Sasuke..." Jiraiya warned him.

"What are those classified files on Naruto?" Sasuke had both hands on Jiraiya's desk now.

"They're not important Sasuke,"

"Then why are they classified. Those files are protected by a passcode-rewrite. I consider that important,"

"Drop it Sasuke,"

"If he's going to be my partner I don't want any shady business. I've had enough bad partners to know one when I see one,"

"There's no shady business going on. Those files are classified for a reason, to protect certain things and people. Trust me if you get into those files people will come looking for you, people from his previous employment. I insist that you drop it Sasuke," Jiraiya was beginning to get angry. Jiraiya didn't know what was in the files but he was told to keep quiet about them. They had told him what he just told Sasuke. Naruto's previous agency was all about confidentiality especially with the type of work they did. This job was mild compared to what Uzumaki's did before. He had to hand it to Naruto, he hid his skills well. "Sasuke you're contradicting yourself. I'm sure Uzumaki would see this as shady."

Sasuke looked over the pictures from his undercover assignment. Gai was odd, and so were the people who came out of the apartment complex. Gai's muscles barley fit into his green jumpsuit. His addiction to steroids was unhealthy and noticeable. Hopefully there would be progress within the next week. His shipment day was in a few days so they might get something. Sasuke was trying to focus on updating Gai's file. There wasn't much to add to it. He had added a full body shot photo, attached it with a paper clip. His mind kept veering to the files. He put a hand over his face and leaned back in the chair. He took out his phone to check his emails. There was nothing new, he sighed and continued with the paperwork.


Sai got up from his bed slowly careful not to wake the person next to him. He went into the bathroom and put his boxers on. He came back into the bedroom and looked at the man sleeping in his bed. Sai was used to getting what he wanted. Last night was both pleasure and work. Sai had a smirk on his face as he walked into the kitchen. He stretched his arms upward and gave a yawn. His phone buzzed on the counter. What now he thought. He picked it up and looked at the name. It was Shikamaru...again.

Shikamaru 11:40pm: I need your help.

Reply 6:36am: Again? Did you mess up?

He put his phone down and opened the stainless steal refrigerator. Sai grabbed the orange juice and poured himself a glass. His eyes searched the counter top, there! He grabbed the bottle of clear liquid and poured a little into the glass. His phone rang, he let it ring for a while then picked it up.

"Can't I enjoy my orange juice?"

"Funny I need your help Sai,"

"Shikamaru I've helped you a lot. Don't you think you should try to advance by yourself?" Sai put down his orange juice.

"Listen, I was trying to get to some classified files, it was on a passcode-rewrite. Later that day I got hacked, the program I was working on is virtually gone, no pun intended,"

"Interesting," Sai jumped up and sat on the island in his kitchen. He took a sip of his spike juice.

"Sasuke wants me to get those files,"

"Ah Sasuke, how is he?" a smile kept unto Sai's face.

"Not the time Sai," Shikamaru sighed,

"Where are you trying to get the files from?"

"The ANBU Agency,"

"Are you kidding me?" Sai choked on his orange juice.

"Do you know what the ANBU Agency does?"

"...no, aren't they just like the Konoha Agency?"

"Far from, if they find out who you are...boy your ass is as good as gone," there was silence on the other side for a moment,

"Are you fucking with me Sai?"

"No...but we can if you want,"

"I'm serious!"

"No I'm not fucking with you, I'll be over in a while."

Sai hung up the phone swiftly. He walked in to the bedroom and pulled off his boxers. He was feeling a little buzzed. The man on the bed stirred.

"What time is it?" the man looked up. His hair was disheveled and his voice raspy.

"It's almost seven." Sai replied as he walked to the side of the bed.

"Last night was crazy," the man looked up at him.

"Ready for round two?" Sai forcefully got on top of the man who moaned in pleasure.


Sasuke and Naruto were diagonal from Gai's apartment complex. They sat in silence aside from the clicks of their cameras. Sasuke was watching Naruto, Naruto was in the driver seat. He had convinced Sasuke to let him drive. Naruto put his camera down, his eyes were fixed on something. Sasuke looked back to the apartments. Someone with red hair looked at them then entered the building.

"Shit!" Naruto spat out.

"Was that your informant?" Sasuke looked at him.

"Fucking Gaara," Naruto slammed the folder that was in his lap to the side of him.

"I'll be right back," Naruto turned his hat backwards and got out of the car.
"Naru-" Sasuke called after him. What an idiot!

The blonde jogged across the street and hid in the alley way to the right of the building. Sasuke was ready to call back up, what was Naruto thinking? Naruto stayed in the alley way for a while. He was waiting for Gaara. Soon the red head came out of the complex and was heading towards Naruto's position. Naruto saw Gaaras shadow on the sidewalk. He swiftly grabbed Gaara with both hands by his sweatshirt and into the alleyway. Sasuke watched this unfold.

Naruto slammed Gaara against the brick wall. Gaara grabbed at Naruto's wrists.

"What the fuck are you doing?" Naruto hissed quietly.

"I'm trying to help!"

"Putting yourself in danger is not helping Gaara," Naruto loosened his grip.

"Listen they moved the shipment day," Gaara took a breath.

"What, how do you know that?" Naruto let go of Gaara now.

"Someone I know is on the receiving side of the shipment," Gaara looked down at the ground.

"When is the shipment?" He looked Gaara in the eyes.

"Today,"

"Shit, come with me," Naruto grabbed Gaara by the front of his sweatshirt. They crossed the street. Naruto opened the door for Gaara and pushed him in the car. He slammed the door shut. He got in the driver seat and looked at Sasuke.

"Shipment is today,"

"At the pier," Gaara added from the backseat.

Naruto put the car in drive and stepped on the gas. Sasuke called their back up and told them to meet at the peer. Gaara was silent and Naruto was focusing on driving. Sasuke couldn't belive what had just happened. Sasuke wanted to punch this red head, but he did get the information.
